The 75th annual Emmy Awards ceremony took place on January 15, 2024, at 5 p.m. at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, California. It was also broadcast on FOX at 8 p.m. The ceremony was originally supposed to be held on September 18, 2023, but due to writers’ and actors’ strikes, it was postponed. If you do not know what the Emmys are, it is a red carpet ceremony honoring all the best broadcast TV shows that aired from June 1, 2022, up until May 31, 2023.
There were a total of 26 Emmy Awards presented at the Emmys, with Succession leading the list of nominees with a total of 27 nominations. Succession won six Emmy Awards, with actors Matthew Macfayden, Sarah Snook, and Kieran Culkin also winning awards for performing in the show.
FX’s The Bear was awarded six Emmys, and Netflix’s Beef was awarded five Emmy Awards. The Emmy winners for the show The Bear were Ayo Edilbri, Ebon Moss-Brachrach, Jeremy Allen White, and Christopher Storer. Quinta Brunson won an award for her performance at Abbot Elementary, and Jennifer Coolidge won one for The White Lotus. For the show Succession, Matthew Macfayden, Jesse Armstrong, Mark Mylod, Kieran Culkin, and Sarah Snook. These are just a few of the many winners of the variety of shows and actors that received awards and recognition for their hard work.
Now on to the most exciting part of the Emmys: the outfits that actors, actresses, and celebrities graced the red carpet in. My five favorite outfits from the Emmys were Suki Waterhouse wearing Valentino, Hannah Waddingham in Marchesa, Jenna Ortgea in Dior Haute Couture and Christian Louboutin, Issa Rae in Pamella Roland, and Yelena Yemchuck’s eye-catching dress.
My favorite dress was worn by Hannah Waddingham. Her dress, full of crystals and sequins on the top and a long train made of light fluffy feathers in this beautiful mint color, was such an amazing and classy look.
Giana Capialbi 24’ expressed how much she loved the outfits worn by celebrities at the Emmys when she stated, “I really think Jenna Ortega looked really wonderful in Dior, and I really thought the dress made her look taller. The color of Rachel Brosnahan’s dress was absolutely wonderful, and I feel the color totally suited her. Lastly, I feel that we need to see more complex outfits from men in regards to award shows, press, and red carpet shows. Overall, there were so many amazing outfits worn at the Emmys.”
My five least favorite outfits worn at the Emmys were Selena Gomez in Oscar de la Renta, Aubrey Plaza in Loewe, Quinta Brunson in Dior Haute Couture, Simona Tabasco in Marni, and Ellen Pompeo’s white shimmery sheer top paired with a long black silky skirt. Simmona Tobasco’s dress looked straight out of a sticker book, which didn’t really appeal to me.
The amount of time and effort put into planning and dressing up for the Emmys and all award shows is enormous. All the outfits that crossed the red carpet, whether classy, colorful, or even a little odd, allowed the actors and actresses to express themselves. I can't wait to see what is worn next year.
